STOOP DOWN AND DRINK

My mother's got to stoop down, stoop down,
Stoop down to drink and live,
My mother's got to stoop down, stoop down,
Stoop down to drink and live.

My father's got to stoop down, etc.

My brother's got to stoop down, etc.

My sister's got to stop down, etc.

Everybody must stoop down, stoop down,
Stoop down to drink and live,
Everybody must stoop down, stoop down,
Stoop down to drink and live.
